so much for the monster post I wrote that got gobbled in to the neither world..( insert manuel buzzer here)...

anyhow... the gist of it was .. not much going on except for the day to day stuff... lots and lots of travel with Christopher going to and from basktball & biology......sitting for 4 hours won't be so bad once I crank up the new think pad Chris gave me...I have already stalked Panera Bread once  but I need to get the hang of the little red mouse button...also, I ahve taken on crocheting Caps for the Capital, little newborn and preemie hats My goal is 30-50 hats... these work up so quickly and go to a great cause... If you are a knitter or a crocheter you can go here to learn more about it.

I have 6 done....

My basket reed order has come in and I hope to spend time next week designing a Christmas basket.  This will be a blend of flat and round reed  with various dyes... hopefully it will turn out well.

...I'll have plenty of time with CD gone to New Bern... only 4 days and 3 nights but we are both just a bit pouty over the whole thing...this will be our life for the next 8 months or so... I do plan on heading down when I can and seeing all there is to see... just makes it a bit tough with Christopher having obligations...

... I am hosting a Mystry Crochet ALong at www.crochetville.org

I designed a small pattern and post 8 rows a day... it has been a blast so far and I have made a few new online friends... and all of us are crocheters using arcylic yarn( gasp)... and according to some pattern designers in the crochet world, that puts us right there with serial killers and axe murders... awe well... I did order cotton thread today ( like about 10 balls worth)so perhaps I am not the lowest of the low!

..and finally I leave you with the artery busting meatloaf I made for dinner... it was a new recipe and I must say we all enjoyed it. ( C did say it could use some sausage, gets that from his mother)...

Bacon Mushroom Swiss Meatloaf

do the dishes ... and relax with my sweetie...

...so have a fine day... all day long!
